The Wingham Advance-Times, 1944-06-01, Page 3• FIRESTONE'S GREATEST CONTRIBUTION TO LONG TIRE LIFE AND MILEAGE Firestone, pioneers of the kalloon E'•:•:. and high-speed tires, now make another contribution to advanced motoring .. VITAMIC RUBBER . . . for longer ' tire life'and mileage. It is A well-known fact that adding small amounts of metals, such as chromium and tungsten, to steel greatly increases the strength and durability of the alloy produced, In a 'similar manner, it has been found by Firestone research that the intimate mixing with rubber of small amounts of a new scientific discovery, "Vitalin," imparts long-sought proper' ties to the rubber. As in, the alloy steel, the new tubber compound , . VITAMIC RUBBER . . is greatly improved in strength, wearability, and resistance to heat and ageing, Ail Firestone tires are now made with Vitamin Rubber. This added extra ,value, together with Gum- Dipping and Safety Locked Cords, is all the more reason why you should insist on Firestone tires when. you obtain a Tire Ration Permit. The familiar Martin-Senour sign is the one to look for when paint-plans are pending. It is the sign that says "the 100% Pure Paint is sold here".

His experience and friendly advice backed by the highest quality products will assure you of complete satisfaction in your painting plans! .14-14 MARTIN-SENOUR VITAMIC RUBBER' is produced by adding Vitalin when the rubber is compounded. It gives gum protection against *eather checking and weer, thus keeping the rubber tough and lively,.

PENICILLIN SOON FOR CIVILIANS "Some prospect of penicillin being available for general civilian use with- in the next five or six months," is re- ported editorially by The Canadian Medical ASsociation Journal in its current issue. The Journal reports that two sources of supply have been established in Canada, one being the Connaught Laboratories in Toronto, the other a Government-owned laboratory at Montreal, operated by a well-known firm of pharmaceutical manufacterers, The Journal states that "apparently, progresS in the production has been more rapid than was anticipated." "Research on penicillin is being con- tinued in the _Banting Institute under auspices of the National Research Council. Partof the limited quantity of penicillin produced weekly is sent to the Joint Services Penicillin Com- mittee and part to Montreal and To- ronto for clinical investigation of its effects. "After meeting these demands the remaining penicillin is distributed' for civilian use in the treatment of proved eases of staphylococcal septicemia and staphylococcal and pneumococcal meningitis," the journal reports. The S, Public Health Service re- ports that "additional penicillin for treatment of sulfa-resistant gonorrhea, enough to supply all state and federal- ly operated rapid-treatment centres, has been allocated to the Services V. D. Division. Reallocations have been Made to 24 state health deparfinetits supplying 35 rapid-treatment centreS,, SUMMER FRUITS RICH IN VITAMIN C The next few weeks will bring vita- min C to our markets in perhaps its most delicious form fresh straw- berries, An average serving will sup- ply three-quarters of the day's needs. Other summer fruits such a raspber- ries, currants and canteloupe are also *excellent sources of this hardest-to- get vitamin, according to Nutrition Services, Ottawa, Of all the minerals and vitamins essential for health Canadians need to be most watchful of their supply of Vitamin C. This fact was brought to light by a committee of nutritionists from Canada, Britain and the United States who studied the food supplies available to civilians in the three countries: Britain, in spite of the great scarcity of citrus fruits and tomatoes was bet- ter off for vitamin C than either Can- ada or the United States. Potatoes and leafy green and yellow vegetables were the two .groups of foods which 'provided Britons with 80% of their vitamin C. The report published by the committee indicates that last year the British got 1% times the vitamin 'C from potatoes and almost 9 times as much vitamin C from leafy green and yellow vegetables as Canadians did. 1918 HERO DEFEATED BY POST WAR WORLD (By Edna Jaques) He came home without a scratch on him, tall, good looking, still young and gay, in spite of four years of bitter fighting and hardship. He had been a dispatch rider, daring and brave as they come. After three horses had been shot dead under him, they gave him a motor bike and he got his mes- sages through every time. After the Armistice he rode the Colonel's own horse at the head of his battalion across the Rhine into Germany, Then he came home,to Canada. Hack 0 a 'little farm on te shores of Old Wives' lake in Saskatchewan, a little place he had seen in his dreams for over four years, sloping a bit to- ward the lake, with good soil. His heart sang within him, spring was on the golden hills, summer was coming. First, he had to buy horses, and as the price of them had doubled when he was away, his six-horse outfit set him back nearly twelve hundred dol- lars. Machinery was out of sight, too, but he had to have a plow, harrows, discmower and rake, a new binder, a lean-to on the barn for a cow and a couple of pigs, a few simple things for his tiny house, a grub stake for the summer The Soldier's Settlement helped him get started and he was the happieSt man on the prairie, land of his own, a chance to make good, maybe he could findl a nice girl some day. Year after year went by. At first he couldn't believe it, but he wasn't getting his horses paid for, or the machinery. The lumber for the lean- to hadn't seemed anything at first, now the bill had ,,,almost doubled and he was getting desperate lie covered every sheet of paper in the house with figures, trying to cut down here and there, never 'going to town, why one year he lived for four months on boil- ed wheat and pork, nothing else, no bread or anything. In 1929 the drought struck and it finished him. He lost his horses and machinery; they took his stove an bed for the debt on his lumber, his cow went to pay for seed oats he had got the year before, and he was cut adrift How did it'happen, we asked, as lie came pitifully to our door one cold fall day, seeking shelter, "It was the high prices I had to pay-ior everything that whipped me," he said; "You re- member in 1919 when I came back after the war, how high everything was, horses, machinery, binder twine, building materials, Wheat was a pretty price, too, and of course ex- pected it to stay that way, But by 1323 wheat had dropped over half in price. But the price of the things I had to buy hadn't gone down anything like the price of wheat. And I kept on Paying just as high interest on my mortgage and on the money I had borrowed to get horses and machinery. And just as high taxes. And I had to pay just as high wages for help. "And wheat never did go back to the price it was in '19 and '20. And when the drought came and there wasn't any wheat, it finished me. So I never did get out of the hole, And there are a lot others like me," We saw him again the other even- ing and he remarked feelingly: "I hope it won't be the same for the kids who come home after thTh war. I haven't much fight left in me now, I know, but I'll fight inflation as long as there's breath in my body. Plan Ample Room For Poultry To Grow The housing problem in Canada is not confined to human beingsi it ex- tends to poultry. There is no excuse, alatitioteis, Ametli ~RAy tgy • Ifet me show YOU the proof, 'Then place your order through me,.. No Writing Money Orders. No bother, Personal attention—prompt delivery, A. C. ADAMS, WINGUAM say the Poultry authorities, Dominion Department of Agriculture, for not having ample room for poultry to thrive and grow In Canada, Growing chicks or half-grown pullets lacking ample roosting accommodation fre- quently pile up in the corners or on the floor, and while piling up in grow- ing chicks is not immediately fatal as with young chicks, the ill effects will be apparent long afterwards, if the pil- ing up is allowed to continue. The obvious solution is to provide suffici- ent colony houses and orange shelter accommodation ,and for satisfactory growth there should be at least two range shelters for each colony house and the birds taught to use them. Birds are equipped by nature to roost in the open with ample air and venti- lation around them. Many equipment marinfacturers and hatchery operators now offer for sale range shelters in disjointed form. Now is the time to plan to meet the housing contingency before the rush season of another year comes around. 1 WORLD WIDE NEWS IN CONDENSED FORM to the south joined with others of the main 5th Army front in a dramatic long-awaited meeting in the Pontine Marshes south of the Eternal City.
